Enduring computers 13 Jun 2010 (Forum)
At times, Mrs O encounters trouble in the form of infected web pages, files and so on - obvious from the computers behaviour. But a reboot, auto revert - and it`s back to it`s normal, fast running, clean, state. So it`s 7 yrs and counting. There`s stacks of software on it now, so I cloned the disk a while back and keep the original as a backup, in the loft. -

Cars on the Isle of Wight 26 Jun 2006 (Forum)

Ford S-MAX - 2012 Ford S-Max - DMF issue or something else? 13 Aug 2025 (Forum)
Hi all. After some advice please... We've had our 2012 1.6 S-Max (Zetec, manual, diesel) since 2018 when we bought it with 70k on the clock. It's been a real work-horse and works perfectly for our family. Last year we had a new timing belt/water pump fitted and this year we've had to have a new AC condenser fitted (as the air con suddenly stopped working). -

Ford S-MAX - S-Max reliability and the alternatives 3 May 2010 (Forum)
I've driven Peugeots for 18 years, and apart from the odd niggle they've always been fine. Is this another case of the reputation being worse than the reality? If the S-Max isn't the answer, is the reliability of any of the obvious alternatives (Grand Scenic, Mazda5, Touran etc) that much better? We also test drove a Mondeo Estate yesterday, but I guess the same reliability issues would apply.
